Pacific salmon fisheries, owned and managed by Aboriginal peoples, were transformed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by commercial and sport fisheries backed by the Canadian state and its law. Through detailed case studies of the conflicts over fish weirs on the Cowichan and Babine rivers, Douglas Harris describes the evolving legal apparatus that dispossessed Aboriginal peoples of their fisheries. Building upon themes developed in literatures on state law and local custom, and law and colonialism, he examines the contested nature of the colonial encounter on the scale of a river. In doing so, Harris reveals the many divisions both within and between government departments, local settler societies, and Aboriginal communities.Drawing on government records, statute books, case reports, newspapers, missionary papers and a secondary anthropological literature to explore the roots of the continuing conflict over the salmon fishery, Harris has produced a superb, and timely, legal and historical study of law as contested terrain in the legal capture of Aboriginal salmon fisheries in British Columbia. 606 $aIndians of North America$xFishing$xLaw and legislation 606 $aIndians of North America$xFishing$xLaw and legislation$zBritish Columbia$xHistory 606 $aSalmon fisheries$xLaw and legislation$zBritish Columbia$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xFishing$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xFishing$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aSalmon fisheries$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 676 $a343.73076 700 $aHarris$b Douglas C$g(Douglas Colebrook),$01031421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455509203321 996 $aFish, law, and colonialism$92448793 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
